sandboxed loadstring, loadfile and dofile functions for Lua. Fixed bug where errors generated during request parsing may cause memory leaks on certain platforms. Fixed bug where non-string errors generated by Lua would cause a segmentation fault. Corrected various typos and unclear code comments.

lua-fastcgi
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
lua-fastcgi is a sandboxed Lua backend for FastCGI. That is, you can write
|
|
Lua scripts that serve up web pages. Options exist in lua-fastcgi.lua
|
|
to configure a fixed amount of memory, cpu usage, and output bytes
|
|
for each request. While sandboxed, lua-fastcgi supports a limited set
|
|
of functions. If sandboxing is disabled, lua-fastcgi loads the standard
|
|
libraries and users may load modules as needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
compiling
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
lua-fastcgi requires libfcgi and liblua to successfully compile. lua-fastcgi
|
|
has been tested under Linux, specifically Ubuntu 10.10. Other versions of
|
|
Ubuntu will likely work without any changes. Other flavors of Linux should
|
|
work with little to no effort. Other Unix-like operating systems are untested
|
|
and unsupported, for now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
running
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
lua-fastcgi reads lua-fastcgi.lua in the current working directory. If it
|
|
fails to read this file, it will assume certain defaults and continue anyway.
|
|
Configuration defaults are documented in the included lua-fastcgi.lua file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
lua-fastcgi has been tested with nginx, but will likely work with other
|
|
FastCGI compatible web servers with little effort. lua-fastcgi relies only
|
|
on SCRIPT_NAME and SCRIPT_FILENAME FastCGI variables passed to it. Lua scripts
|
|
can be configured inside of an nginx server directive as follows:
|
|
|
|
location ~* \.lua$ {
|
|
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
|
|
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9222;
|
|
}
